So, So Many Democrats are Running for Governor

Meet the (baker’s?) dozen.

BY Matt Hrodey

The Democratic field for Governor is looking a lot like a typical Wisconsin high school class, replete
with a couple of cool kids, a couple smart ones and a couple caught sniffing glue in the lavatory. Much still depends on whether Madison mayor Paul Soglin, who has promised to announce a decision in early 2018, gets into the game. (The other dozen below have already committed.) If Soglin does, we’ll be seeing a whole lot of Democratic moustache this year.

‘Stampede!’ appears in the January 2018 issue of Milwaukee Magazine.
